Yes, I was good at math. I usually didn't do my homework. The teacher would call random students up to the board to show their work on selected problems. I would have to work out the problem on the spot. Only time I got burned was when I was first.

My dad had his own engineering firm and my 2 oldest brothers worked for him when I was a kid. Engineers are extremely adept at estimating things very quickly. Business talk frequently spilled over into family time and I picked up some skill from that, I guess.

Sounds a lot like my family (minus the brothers working for the firm, my parents had 4 kids and all of us have steered clear of engineering.)
